MIR. rkason,s Largess.

The HERALD has had occasion from
time to time to dwell upon the enorm-
Gus injustice to Los Angeles taxpayers
perpetrated by our Republican County
Assessor Mason. There is deep and
widespread Indignation at his action
in this community which grows in in
tensity the more it is considered. The
real estate of San Francisco is assessed
Mt $19I 900 900. gentleman specially
competent to pass a judgment upon
such matters, and who has lately re-
turned from that city, gave the ques-
ton of the City and County taxation
of San Francisco some attention. As
a result he found that, taking one
business street, Market, and one resi-
dence street, Van Ness avenue, and
estimating the property on these two
thoroughfares At their lowest cash
value, he could figure out a larger
valuation thereon then was given by
the Golden Gate Assessor to the
whole realty of the metropolitan city
and county of San Francisco. He
came to the irresistible conclusion
that, while property in Los Angeles
is valued at its full cash value, that of
San Francisco is scarcely rated at
twenty per cent. of very moderate
estimate. As result the taxpayers
here are practically made to donate
towar Is the expenses OF the State
government considerable upwards of
half million dollars. That certainly
may be called a donation which
is in excess of what we should
rightfully have to pay under a justly
equalized assessment, or under an
assessment made in the manner in
which they are made elsewhere. 1t
should, therefore, be known as Mr..
Mason's largess to the State, and it
bids fair to last long after an indig-
nant constituency shall have relegated
him to private life. For this and all
other favors the taxpayer ought to be
duly grateful.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-01

The growth of American cities in
this period is going mat an enormous
pace, as compared with anything in
the previous history OF the world. The
growth of cities in all civilized coun-
tries is very rapid, but the American
Union leads all in this respect, as in
deed it does in all industrial develop
ment. Take New York, for example.
In 1856 the village at the point of Man
haitian island numbered but one thou
sand souls. At the end of an even
century Gotham had only grown to
lO-3S1 people. At the end of that
century she had in 1880 &C, ,480 inhab-
itants. In the next score of years she
had doubled her size numerically.
Then in ten years the American
metropolis had almost doubled again.
From that basis at the end of another
decade she grew fifty per cent, having
.sl2, ,842 people within her gates in
1910. In the next ten years she gained
by 200 900, and in the next ten 800 900,
having when the war broke out $685.
651 inhabitants. During the next de-
cade New York gained only 100000
in numerical value. While in the de-
cade ending with 1879 she increa ed
by $4,000. During the current de-
cade our continental metropolis has
made marvellous strides in her
growth. The statistics here given are
valuable as showing law in the
growth of modern cities. The ratios
that held in the past century
are like the block-wheeled carts
of that period as compared to
the railroad trains OF the present.
There is hint here as to our own
growth. New York has grown 100,-
900, 2OO, 900, 300 900 in a single de-
cade. That city probable never grew
80 rapidly in any one year as Los An
geles did last year and the year before.
Looking at the growth OF such cities as
St. Paul and Minneapolis, and of Chi
cago, but more than all of Kansas
City, there is no obstacle in the way
of Los Angeles becoming in less than
ten years a place of 100000 inhabi-
fants.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-01

THE agent OF Messrs. VIM. T. Cole
man & Co. in this city, who has re-
turned from trip to the East, en-
bracing many large cities in several
States, from Omaha to Boston, reports
an ever growing demand for Califor-
MIA fruits in all forms at all the points
he touched. The call for canned
goods is urgent and cannot be fully
met. Dried fruit is readily salable if
it is properly cured. The present en-
joys wonderful advantage over the
past in this business. Time was
when the railroad charged $3.50 pei
car for fast freight and 5000 for slow.
When the rates on the former class o1
goods fell to $500 and the latter to
$500, great was the rejoicing on all
the fruit farms of California. Now
tariff is down TO $400 for fast goods
and only 5000 for slow. AS ten tons
is nominally a car, saving of $4OO on
10000 pounds is equal to two cents
per pound which goes into the pocket
of the fruit grower. In time fast
trains will carry our fruit to the center
Of the continent for 5000 per car, thus
adding another cent per pound te
the profits of the fruit grower
The best railroad commission evel
invented is now sitting upon the
policy OF the transcontinental roads
and that policy will be more and
more in favor of the shippers-that is
active competition. Mistakes are made
in this fruit business as in all enter
prises still in their tentative stages
Some dealers are now shipping oul
common pears east at a season when
that section is getting very fair ar.
ticle in this line of home growth
This is the result of lack of experience
"a fault which in business always
quickly cures itself among a people o.
SO nimble wits as the average Ameri.
can is blessed with.

THE GATES WERE UP.

Snash.UP and Probable Loss of
 Railroad Crossing at Grand Avenue.
 It will be remembered that the COURIER mentioned some days ago that the Fair Ha- ven and Westville horse railroad company had adopted new rule with reference to the railroad crossing of the Hartford road on Grand avenue, where M. B. Scott was fatal ly injured, this rule requiring conductors to stop at the crossing, run ahead of the car and see if any train was approaching from either direction. Sunday forenoon last at about quarter-past ten horse car ap- preached the crossing. The conductor, ae- cording to rule, stopped the car and ran ahead to see if there was any danger, no doubt privately thinking that there wasn't much use in so doing in this case from the fact that the gates were up at the crossing, the signal that all was right. But it will not do to trust to gates, and the rule worked to a charm. The conductor saw that heavy freight was close at hand and in 8 minute more it thundered by. All this time the gates were up, and from all indications no gateman was on duty. Had not this rule of the company been in force and obeyed the papers would very likely have had to chron- icle a shocking accident, as had the horse car not stopped it would probably have been de- molished and several persons maimed or killed
